Hook:
Ayy, we eat good but we still on point, don’t get it twisted (grrt bow)
Turkey in the oven but the Glock right next to the biscuits (boom)
Family in the crib, but we still got eyes on the distance (huh)
It’s Thanksgiving, but opps still talk like they victims (grrt bow bow)
Stuffin’ in the plate, same time stuffin’ in the mag (ayy)
Mac ’n’ cheese hittin’ but the beef still never lag (never)
If he act up, we gon’ carve him like a tag (skrrt)
Give thanks for the blessings and the smoke we never had (bahhh)

Verse 1:
Walk in the house, whole fam say what’s good (what’s good)
Unc off the Henny, cousin fresh out the hood (fresh out)
Kids in the back and the yams smell good (so good)
But bro on the porch say he seen somethin’ in the woods (hold up)
I’m like “chill bro, today ain’t the day” (nah)
But he clutchin’ on somethin’, say the opps wanna play (grrt)
I said “pass me the rolls, not the K”
But he passed me the switch, said “we’ll pray after grace” (amen)
Grandma yellin’ “sit down, this my table!” (sit)
Auntie start drama ’cause her Wi-Fi unstable (lag)
Turkey got carved like a body on cable (slice)
But the tension in the room feel Cain vs. Abel (real)

Verse 2:
Cousin start cappin’, say he ran the whole block (cap)
But last week he slipped on some ice by the shop (slip)
Grandpa said “boy stop, you ain’t slid on nobody”
Whole room laughed, even baby in the potty (ha)
Plate so full feel like weights in a gym (heavy)
Mashed potatoes thick like a opp tryna swim (drown)
Green beans bussin’ but the cornbread dim (dry)
Auntie burnt it again, we don’t ever eat hers in the crib (trash)
If the opps want smoke, tell ’em pull up AFTER dinner (facts)
’Cause I ain’t lettin’ no goofy ruin a winner (nah)
Take home plates stacked up like a sinner (stacked)
Thanksgiving drill — we give thanks, then spin ’em (grrt bow bow bow)

Bridge:
Look…
We give thanks for the ones still here, ones that made it through the year (facts)
Lost bros got seats at the table, even if it ain’t nobody there (real)
Mama said “slow down with the war,” but the streets don’t ever spare (they don’t)
So I bow my head for a minute, then I rise with a thousand-yard stare (on gang)
Plates on the table, but trauma still sittin’ in the room (still here)
Joy in the day, but the pain come back when the night hit soon (nighttime)
And if the opps slide, we slide back — that’s the family tune (grrt bow)
But today we breathe, we live, we pray… give thanks under the moon (amen)
